[Music] [Applause] Oh. You’re stuck. Base, this is Dr. Aerys. I I have a lioness, adult female, trapped inside a hollow log. She’s critical. [Music] [Music] Okay. [Music] [Music] Heat. All right, team. The mother is still trapped inside the log. We need to stabilize the entrance first. Get the rigging secured by the entrance.

Securing now, Captain. Vital’s kit is ready. She’s barely responsive. Breathing is minimal. Been trapped for hours. Understood. Vitals first. We need to sedate. The dart is prepped with the full dose. Good. The oxygen levels are holding steady. Easy. Now this way. Is it okay? [Music] Be gentle with him. [Music] We’ll cut a large section here and here.

Get the saws ready. [Music] Sedation is effective. She’s completely under. Okay, everyone, let’s begin. Full protective gear. Mill one. One [Applause] cut here and here. Make it wide enough to lift her out. Clean. Vital stable. Ready to cut. [Music] [Applause] Steady. Keep it level. [Music] Breathing is still regular.

[Music] Good. Now the cross cuts. [Music] Okay, everyone on three. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Almost there. Push. [Music] [Music] Flashlight. Check her breathing. [Music] Vitals. [Music] Heartbeat is strong. Breathing is shallow but steady. [Music] Captain, you have to get over here. You’re not going to believe this. [Music] What is it, Doc? Is she worse? Her breathing is shallow but steady.

She’s not just stuck, Captain. She’s pregnant. She’s heavily pregnant. [Music] She’s contracting the stress. It’s inducing labor. She’s in labor. Okay, new plan. We’re not moving her. Bring the full obstetric kit. Set up a sterile field right here. All right, sterile drapes down first. Got it, Captain. We’re losing time. Get the oxygen ready.

Flashlight steady. We have to do this now. Clamps ready. Ready. [Music] [Applause] Keep monitoring the mother’s breathing. It’s steady, Captain. All right, let’s try to rotate the cub. [Music] Captain, there’s another one. She’s not done. First one is breathing well. [Music] Muja coup one start stimulation now. Come on little one breathe.

[Music] We have a cry. This one’s strong. This one’s breathing. [Music] It’s breathing. [Music] Good. Good work, everyone. Mother is stable. She’s exhausted, but vitals are holding. The sedation worked perfectly. [Applause] They won’t survive the night out here. We’re moving them all to the center. Prep the mother for transport. Gently.

There we go. Nice and warm. Everything is going to be all right. [Music] Unfold it completely. Watch your spacing. Okay. Slide it under the shoulders now. Easy, easy. All right, team. Lift on three. One, two, three. Easy. Now, slide her gently. Secure the straps. Slow, steady. Watch her side. Make sure the main bay is secured for the mother.

 They are almost here with the stretcher. Secured and ready, doctor. It’s locked in place. All right, let’s get the door closed. [Music] Vital stable. Newborn secure. We’re ready to move. [Music] [Music] [Music] How are they, Doc? Vital stable. Both newborns are holding on. [Music] Okay, bring her straight into ICU bay one. [Applause] [Music] Okay, let’s move her gently.

Steady. Now, watch your corners. Let’s get her inside quickly but gently. Vital’s holding at 45. [Music] Connect the fluids. Get a new baseline reading. [Music] You’re safe now, little guy. [Music] [Music] She did it. She’s really standing. I know. It’s incredible, isn’t it? Good job. Nice and slow now.

 You’ll be big big and strong soon enough. [Music] Mother’s recovery is excellent. Newborns are strong. The older cub is getting very restless. I think it’s time. [Music] Okay, let’s introduce him. Go slowly. [Music] [Music] Wow. Wow. [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] They’re so cute. They’re a family. A complete family. Family.

[Music] Her recovery is 100%. All three cubs are healthy. Incredible outcome given the circumstances. Go ahead and secure the door. We are green for launch. Confirmed. Door secured. [Music] Easy. Easy. In you go. That’s it. Nice and calm now. [Music] That’s what it’s all about. [Music]
